Ills sud« den wor&s. She had thouglit she had been too careful to waken Yiim, and ehe said Apologetically: "I'm sorvy I woke you, '/far." "I've been awake for some time." "Oh, have you? I'm going to have a woman como In to sew to-day, and I thought I'd get up early to be ready ■for her." Helen genuinely hated tljps idea of a •ewing woman in the hot'ee, but this seamstress had come hlijlily recom mended and as Winifred needed un derclothes and several 11 rtle summer dresses HeJen thought it would be cheaper to have a woman Bew at home where she could superintend things, rather than send the thirds out. Breakfast went as usual. Warren engrossed In the mornlrK paper and Helen going through the mail. There ■was seldom anything for Warren that came to the -house, sc- Helen had everything her own way in the morn ing and frequently answered all man lier of questlone concerning her cor respondence. rtot th».t Warren was jealous, but he was often curious and ready to Jibe if Helen used any of. the little airs and graces that he readily recognised. "Here's a catitlog from Simon ton's," she remarks d. "All the clotljes look American ma.?e. I don't know what we're going to do without Paris." Warren gave hiir a withering glance. "With people as poor as we are," he remarked. "Paris will cut verv little ice just at' present." Helen sighed. It seemed years since she had revelled in a real imported gown, and once in a w title she longed to be extravagant and V>uy something really handsome. If Warren heard the si'gh hie difi not show the fact, but went' on with his paper. Helen continued to hook over the catalog and finally e:tcflaimed: "Here's a really preUV gown; It looks quite Parisian." "Still harping on the qMestloui of clothes? -Haven't you got ttnough? It seems to me as though you were pretty well stocked if I know any thing about it." "Why, of course. I don't want any thing. at least not anything in par ticular," denied Helen. "Every woman likes to look at them, though. I don't think there is any harm In It." Her eyes were flashing angrily and she was on the point of indignant tears, but controlled herself. The bell rang at that moment, and from .Nora's low conversation Helen knew tlrat the sewing woman had been admitlied. The seamstress was standing in the Jiall pinning her cheap black l»at to her coat and hanging both on ttie hat rack. Lay That Cellar Floor Now while you have the time to make a good job of it.

I think everything Is ready for you. Here are the little muslins, and here Is the organdie. I want the dresses all made the same from this pattern. You see the style is plain and the smocking Is the only work that will take time." Helen hurried out to the dining room again to see Warren off. He was Just finishing his coffee and pro ceeded to fold his napkin In silence as Helen dropped into her chair. "Will she he here to dinner to night?" he asked disagreeably. Helen looked up. "Don't speak so loud. Warren," she said; "I shouldn't like her to hear you." "I don't care," he vouchsafed; "be sides you closed the door and, unless she has pretty good ears, she's not going to hear a remark made in an ordinary tone of voice two rooms away." Helen gathered up her mail and said, sweetly, "I'm afraid she Is, dear, but perhaps not. She has two little children, and she may want to go home to them." "Where did you hear of her?" he questioned. "Several members of the club have spoken of her. She does plain sewing and is very reasonable." "I don't see why you can't have your sewing done out of the house like other women," he said, still dis agreeable. "Well, I'll tell you why I don't," said Helen firmly. "You have talked expenses of late till I am tired, and I am trying to make the bills as small as possible, unless you don't want me to have anything. This woman would charge about half what a woman would who took the sewing home. I am going to help her, and there is no reason for you taking that attitude about It, Warren; I think you are very unreasonable." Warren got up abruptly. "I hate women tagging around the house," he complained. "We haven't been alone for two meals in succession since I can remember." "I'm sorry, Warren, but in this case it can't be helped. I am trying to do my best for you and everyone." She followed him out into the hall and went up to him impulsively. "It will be over in a couple of days, dear; won't you be nice about it?" "Yes, and then we'll have to begin to talk about some place to send you for the summer." Helen was silent. "Well, be good," he said with a hasty kiss, "and I'll be as decent as possible." This was Warren's way of being really magnanimous, and Helen heard the door close with a sigh of relief. (Another instalment of this inter esting story will appear hero soon).

Sanitation, Exercise and Cor-j; rect Feeding Are Essential! to Success With Fowls Confined in Limited Quar ters | Disinfectant Should Be Used Now, and Plenty of Green Food Should Be Given to the Flock By Prof. A. C. Smith Head of the Department of Poultry Husbandry, University of Minnesota. COPYRIGHT, 1915. In the summer months owners of backyard flocks of poultry frequently experience a shortage of eggs, while farmers are securing eggs in abund ance. The failure of the backyard flock Is frequently due to Incorrect feeding, lack of exercise, unsanitary conditions, or a combination of these faults. In tills article Professor Smith tells bow to manage tin* home poultry flock during the hot weather. Fowls are almost as universally kept by suburbanites and villagers as by the farmers themselves. As more than ninety per cent, of the latter fteep chickens, the extent and importance of the backyard poultry plants will be realized at once. Hens on the back lots require little rorom and demand little care, which may be given at con venient moments. In converting non edible waste into especially edible and readily marketable products, she ex cels any animal that may be kept on a small plot. Although on the farm the attention given to poultry is even less in the summer than during the winter, the backyard flock requires greater care in summer than at auy other season of the year. The care of the fowls compared with that of the young chicks is a simple matter, but even adult birds show the effect of confined quarters, lack of exercise and lack of food, which a range supplies in abundance. Natural conditions must be duplicated in a large measure if good results are sought, and substitutes for natural foods must be supplied as well. In fact, it is necessary to secure enforced exercise, to maintain strict sanitation, and to provide a supply of suitable substitutes for the natural food found a wide range. This involves a certain amount of labor not necessary when fowls have range and also necessitates a good deal more attention than most farm fowls receive. As a consequence, we very often see much better results obtained from backyard flocks than from flocks having free range on the farm. The backlot poultryman has these three problems: First, sanitation; sec ond, enforcing exercise sufficient to maintain vigorous health; third, sup plying a natural variety of foods. Strict Sanitation Is Necessary When fowls are kept in confined yard space, both the bouses and the outdoor runs must be kept in a sani tary conditions. This really means nothing more than keeping hem clean. How often to clean is a debatable J question, and the answer largely de pends upon the climate and partly upon the environment. The ideal 1 housekeeper cleans every day; so does the ideal poultryman. ! i Insanitary conditions of any kind ! must not be tolerated, especially dur ! ing the warm months. Daily re moval of all refuse is advisable, since ;it greatly reduces the danger of dis i ease and of the multiplication of lice i and mites. Clean floors, clean nests and even clear, walls are conducive to health. The litter on the floor and l in the nests should be removed and burned every two or three weeks, de- i i pending unon weather, size of flock, j I etc. » At this time the house should !be sprayed with a good mite killing J disinfectant. Manv good disinfectants . may be purchased. Those who wish ' to manufacture one may use white ' wash or kerosene, with enough car ! bolic acid to give the mixture a dis ; tlnct carbolic odor. Spraying is by far ; the quickest method of application, but less material is required if it is Janplied with a brush. Kerosene emul -1 slon is also an excellent mite killer. I and with the addition of carbolic acid j becomes a disinfectant. Roosts and ! nest* need an application mpre often j than the rest of the house. In the : warmest weather, paint or spray the I nests and roosts with these mixtures 1 every ten days or so. while once a I month will do for the rest of the build ! ; lng. Two Yards For Each Flock I These are from necessitv small and very soon become unsanitary and In I J time infected with germs of disease.] i ' Thes<» might, be cleaned by removing [ the top and replacing It with fresh i earth, but this is always a laborious nnd often a very exoensive nrocess. In a general way, it may be. said that a yard that supports growing vegetables will be healthful. A tender forage crop which will answer the double purpose of purify ing the soil and absorbing and turn ing to account the fertilizing value of the fowls' droppings should be sown This crop will be soon consumed or uprooted and, therefore, it is advan tageous to have at least two yards for i each flock. In this way green food is supplied constantly with the least | possible labor. For quick growth, sow I oats or millet, although almost any small grain will answer the purpose, it is well to sow winter rye or wheat late in the summer in one of the yards, so that a supply of green food may be had early in the Spring. Exercise Essential to Health The method of feeding should be such that the fowls are compelled to take a normal amount of exercise. Exercise is essential to the health of the hen, but if the hen has plenty to eat she has little Inducement to exer cise. Unless she is in the best of health she will not lay, hence the need of exercise. Feeding small grains in litter is the most general pracice. To feed sparingly at morning and noon and give a full meal at night is a good rule. Exercise of the most vigorous kind may be induced by bury ing the grains in the earth. This "is generally done after the fowls are on the roosts. If given grains in no other way, the fowls will be eager to dig them up. The amount of exercise that the fowls will be compelled to take depends upon the depth at which the grain is buried. Every poultrykeeper has his method of feeding and his individual prefer ence as to grains. Corn, wheat, oats are most commonly fed, but to these barley may be added. Whole corn is almost too heavy and too hearty for the fowl on range and certainly should not be fed to those closely confined. Wheat at present prices is almost pro hibitive and barley may be used in stead. Dry mash can be fed economically only in hoppers. Table scraps should, and in many cases will, comprise a considerable portion of the diet. If these are very rich—that Is. contain much starchy piatter, the dry mash should be light or bulky. Table scraps usually consist of pastry, vegetables and meats, and the amount of each should be roughly considered, at least In making up the dry mash. It usually pays to chop the table waste to a semifine state; add to this a little bran, cornmeal, ground oats, or a little of the already mixed dry mash. After mixing all thoroughly, while dry, add a little boiling water, mix to a moist but crumbly state, and feed warm, but not hot. If they are fed liberally with such a mash, the fowls will not exercise. Therefore, when table waste forms a large part of the daily ration, it should be fed at night rather than in the morning. The fowls will then come from the roosts with empty crops, ready to rus tle the litter or scratch in the earth to secure their grain rations. Grain and Animal Foods Where any intensive system of poultry culture is practiced two in gredients are lacking in the ration of the laying hen. These are green and animal foods. The table waste may supply substitutes for the green food and insects that fowls gather on range but probably they will not in a full meature. Besides the green foods al ready mentioned, ground alfalfa or I clover may be added to the mash or fresh vegetables may be used. How ever, the greatest deficiency is most likely to occur in the supply of ani mal food. A substitute for this de ficiency is found In beef scraps when well rendered and wholesome; cut gre«n bone, fed sparingly when sweet: milk, good in any form, if cheap; and other preparations easily obtained. During the warm weather, especially If a male bird is kept in the flock, eggs should be collected two or three times daily, as many hens are broody at this time. The germs of eggs left under these hens are likely to start. More i over, heat quickly causes the eggs to i deteriorate by enabling the bacteria to multiply rapidly. • Care of Young Chicks On a backlot or in confined area, the care of young chicks is a problem that is not nearly as easily solved as the care of grown birds. Pasture, not runs, is what a chicken needs to be grown economically as well as health ily. Therefore, duplicate natural con ditions as nearly as possible, by com pelling exercise as with grown fowls and furnish substitutes for the green foods and insects. To he entlreiv rid of rats, a good cat must be kept. When the neighbor hood Is overrun with rodents, every means of prevention must be used. Grain must be kept in ratproof con tainers and fed in ratproof hoppers. Starve the rats out and they will dis appear. To overfeed in the litter means a meal or more for the rats. Put the chlckhouses away from other buildings and raise the coops |ahove the ground sufficiently high to let the light underneath. No rat will stay there. To get a nonchicken eat ing'cat. raise one or more kittens with the chickens. Poisons may be used by placing them under wire cages so There's only one Easy way to use Soap. ->' There's only one Eas y-W ay to use / in cool or lukewarm water. It does away with all hard rubbing. It works while you rest. It saves money, time and strength. > Something new. Something good F®ls-Soap Powder. Something sweet. Something needed. constructed that rats may enter but fowls and chicks cannot. Cement walls which extend two feet or more below the ground level and a foot or more below the ground level and a foot or more above the surface do much to keep out rats. Fine wire nailed to the sill and extended two or more feet below the ground level will also keep the rats out. Covered win dows are about the only protection against bad cats. Sulphur Will Kill Pests Methods of preventing and destroy ing mites have already given. Body lice may be destroyed by using any of th# many good kinds of lice powder on the market by applying a little finely powdered sulphur through j the fluffy feathers at the rear of the body. A little lice powder or sulphur in the nests is a preventive. A dust bath of coal ashes will assist in elimi nating body lice. The backyard poultry plant has been the training ground of many suc cessful poultr.vmen. Its importance to the industry cannot be overesti mated. Shade For Poultry Is Necessary The importance of shade to poul try will be discussed next week by Michael K. Boyer, poultry editor of the Farm Journal, who will show how to secure shade for young and laying stock and how to maintain the health of the flock by making use of shelters, easily and economically constructed.
